Marlene Bartos Institute of Physiology I |
Neurosciences - Cellular basis of information processing in the brain. Our goal is to understand how information is encoded, stored and retrieved from neuronal networks. |
BL-BT |
 |
Johann Bollmann Institute of Biology I |
Neurosciences - Understanding neural circuits and underlying behavior in genetic model organisms, using genetics, functional imaging and electrophysiology / Visual information processing and motor control in the vertebrate central nervous system / Development of neural circuits in the zebrafish model system. |
|
 |
Máté Döbrössy Dept. of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, University Medical Center |
Neurosciences - The behavioral, physiological and biological consequences of neurostimulation (e.g. DBS, optogenetics, focused ultrasound) in experimental models of Depression; and the neurobiology and the neurocircuitry associated with Depression. |
|
 |
Akos Kulik Institute of Physiology II |
Neurosciences - Subcellular organization and functional interaction of metabotropic receptors and their effector ion channels / Dynamics of the surface expression and subunit composition of synapse-related proteins / Activity-dependent structural and molecular alterations of central neurons / High-resolution quantitative immunoelectron microscopy / Electrophysiology / Pharmacology |
|
 |
Johannes Letzkus Institute of Physiology I |
Neurosciences - The overarching aim of my lab is to understand mechanistically how neocortex contributes to higher brain functions such as sensory perception, memory and attention. Specifically, we focus on: i) The organization and function of neocortical layer 1, a major site for processing of internally-generated top-down information; ii) The contributions of different types of inhibitory interneurons to higher brain functions; iii) The brain-wide afferent systems that send internally-generated top-down information into neocortex; iv) The brain areas and circuit mechanisms of learning and memory |

 |
Christian Schachtrup Institute for Anatomy and Cell Biology, Dept. Molecular Embryology |
Neurosciences - Understanding blood-derived coagulation factors in orchestrating CNS scar formation and harnessing Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) for improving CNS repair. We are testing the effects of modified endogenous NSCs and modified transplanted iPSC-derived NSCs on immunmodulation, scar formation and functional regeneration. |
